NNPDF Presentations on Cyclodextrin in NPC Disease

NNPDF August 2nd, 2013 Presentations on Cyclodextrin in NPC Disease

(Audio & Visual Presentations are found below introduction)

On August 2nd, 2013 in Baltimore MD, the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation (NNPDF) hosted a morning session on the use of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as an experimental treatment of Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease during its 21st Annual Family Support and Medical Conference .

This session was attended by approximately 220 individuals, comprised of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) families from around the world, researchers, and medical clinicians, representatives from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as, corporate and pharmaceutical representatives. In many ways, the session was a milestone for the NPC community. This session marked a true coming together of the NPC community along with our partners at the NIH, FDA, Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND), NeuroNEXT, Johnson and Johnson (J&J) and the numerous Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD) patient advocacy foundations that have all contributed to the cyclodextrin story.

The National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation would like to offer a special note of thanks and gratitude to each of the individuals who participated in and assisted with the design of this extraordinary presentation. Each participant brought a unique perspective and a particular degree of expertise and understanding associated with the Niemann-Pick Disease community and clinical trial experience, unlike anything that we have seen in the past.

We would particularly like to recognize the diligent efforts of Dr. Dan Ory, the NNPDF’s Scientific Advisory Board Chair. Dr. Ory assisted in developing the meeting agenda and worked to ensure that each aspect of the cyclodextrin story was well represented. In addition, there were many individuals working behind the scenes to assist with the foundation’s efforts to make certain that this presentation would be available to the entire NPC community on-line. We offer a special note of thanks to Jonathan Jacoby, Becky McGuire and Nicole Yanjanin for their guidance and assistance.

Lastly, the NNPDF would like to extend a sincere note of thanks and appreciation to Hugh Hempel, for his time, talent and meticulous efforts associated with the video recording and uploading onto a website of this project.
